£3M is at the lower end of what I thought he would go for, I hope there is a sell on clause or some other enhancement to the deal.

Would I prefer it if Liam stayed? Absolutely?
Do I want Liam part of this club but sitting in the shadows with a downer and contributing negatively to the dressing room? Absolutely not.
Is £3M (as reported) a bargain for Sunderland and a bad deal for the Albion? I don't think so, it is £3M profit and we have show we can compete without him, thanks to the young talent we have.
Do I want this saga finished so we can invest in players to drive us onwards and upwards int the playoffs? Of course and I believe this transfer will trigger 3-4 signings.

Come on you Seagulls!

P.S. Thank you for your amazing contribution Liam and I personally wish you all the best.

Don't want to see him go but no point in forcing him to stay. At the end of the day he's been a great servant and can only wish him well. 100% positive Sunderland will beat the drop - they have a great manager that knows how to motivate players. Lets hope we can settle down now as a team and focus on a strong challenge for the play-offs.

Fee will be undisclosed and probably has add ons for appearances etc. Noting to worry about, the club know what they are doing a little more than some on here i would suspect!!

Indeed let's now have positive news of signings, but don't forget we need quality not just numbers so the Charlton lad would be great, Conway and a CB. If Buckley stays do we need anyone else with CMS and Hosko returning, also Obika to pick up the "bench" role? We are not going to sign a big name striker to come and sit on the bench be realistic!

People on here keep saying "don't keep blaming the suits" ie Barber and Burke. but I do blame them, quite obviously Gus was right, we had reached a ceiling and those two can't see further than pound signs, or lower league players, be it championship bottom half or worse.
No ambition this season and allowing Liam to go for that amount is plain stupid. unless we get Wickham as well !

In my view if we get £3m then good business for the club seeing as we got him for nowt. Will finally put an end to the saga as well, which I think if we were all honest we all expected it to end this way. I wish Liam well but I have said it on a previous post we shall be better off without him as Ince will be a far better player and so far this season we have shown we are able to cope without Liam whilst he was injured. Lets home the money can be spent wisely and re-invested into the squad with 2 or 3 coming in.

"Are we getting anything out of this at all" Er, about £3m?

£3mil? Exactly ! not enough for our best player over last 2 seasons? does this include Wickham like stated the other day?

Are we getting anything out of this? as a team will money buy a replacement of his ability??? i dont think so.... so Arnie many thanks for your smart comment and pointing out that we will get about £3mil personnally i cant see this as benefitting us...

The money is partly going on Dale Stephens, who is a like-for-like replacement.

£3m is a fair price for a player unproven at PL level. Hasn't scored for nearly 3 years. Fans often have an unrealistic view of player valuations - as do managers, when they are selling (too high) or buying (too low). It's human nature.

I wish him well and hope we spend the money wisely to strengthen our promotion challenge.

Sky sports reckon £2.5M, that's crap and smacks of desperation because the suits (yes suits) have screwed up and we have no money to spend unless Bridcut goes. People on here keep saying "don't keep blaming the suits" ie Barber and Burke. but I do blame them, quite obviously Gus was right, we had reached a ceiling and those two can't see further than pound signs, or lower league players, be it championship bottom half or worse.
No ambition this season and allowing Liam to go for that amount is plain stupid. unless we get Wickham as well !

Also forgot to say If they are prepared to let him go now, why didn't they do it when he put in his request as we were already told that Sunderland had bid £2.5M ????? but of course this way the suits can say because it was agreed so late they had o time to get players in.! and they can then keep hold of the money.

That's Bull, we are all mushrooms as far as B+ B are concerned.

The original bid (which Sunderland claimed was final) was £2m, was it not? And we still don't know what the clubs have actually agreed on, so there is little point worrying about it at the moment (or indeed, ever).

£2.5m, £3m, whatever it is is still a club record. We've done okay this season without him and this Stephens fella could easily make us quickly forget Bridcutt.

Burke is also not a 'suit' in the way you use that pejorative. He was a decent non-league player in his day and has coaching qualifications, which makes him, as effectively chief scout, more of a 'tracksuit'.

In the real world were never going to get the huge figures that some people on here have been suggesting. Bridcutt is untried in the Premiership and may not make it. The clubs stance has elicited another 25-50% from Sunderland and no doubt there will be add-ons that we do not know about.
As the player would never have been the same had he stayed we have done well in the circumstances and the criticism in some of the comments is in my opinion unfounded and not based upon reality in business.
I hope he does well but like others I regret the way he handled the situation at the end, it did not need to be like that and I suspect he may now realise that.

It's a large profit in purely bald transfer fee terms, but that doesn't factor in the time and effort spent on his development. For a club with Premier League TV income, £2.5–£3m is hardly any risk at all; I'd have hoped to get more for one of our most influential players. As has been said here, I'd hope it's at the upper end of the quoted figures and/or has sell-on clause attached.

Assuming £2.5m without Wickham Bloom has bottled it!!

We don't yet know the conditions of sale. There will almost certainly be a sell-on clause and, one assumes, an appearance-related increment. If it's £2.5m with no such conditions, I too would be surprised (and disappointed) that he went so cheaply.

My mate is a great pal of Robert Codner who is Grabban's agent and he explained that we offered same as he was getting at Bournemouth! If that is correct, and I'm not insisting it is, then we need to do better than that.

Let's see what happens. The proof of the pudding and all that stuff..........

By the way, I admire how Sunderland have got out of the bottom three from what looked like a pretty hopeless position. Everyone appears to have benefited!!!!

I doubt we will be told much about his price, but this is one sale where I think the club should tell the fans, they are selling a much admired player, the fans need to know we got a decent deal.

Would I prefer it if Liam stayed? Absolutely?
Do I want Liam part of this club but sitting in the shadows with a downer and contributing negatively to the dressing room? Absolutely not.
Is £3M (as reported) a bargain for Sunderland and a bad deal for the Albion? I don't think so, it is £3M profit and we have show we can compete without him, thanks to the young talent we have.
Do I want this saga finished so we can invest in players to drive us onwards and upwards int the playoffs? Of course and I believe this transfer will trigger 3-4 signings.

Come on you Seagulls!

P.S. Thank you for your amazing contribution Liam and I personally wish you all the best.

Quotes ranging from £2.5m to £4m depending on whether you look on twitter, bbc or sky. Sounds likely its £2.5m up front with addons assuming Sunderland stay in the prem league. SO unlike a leopard I change my spots and want Sunderland to finish forth from bottom to get the £1m extra cash for Liam! He deserves a chance in the Prem league and our thanks for helping to get us where we are. Onwards and upwards

Also forgot to say If they are prepared to let him go now, why didn't they do it when he put in his request as we were already told that Sunderland had bid £2.5M ????? but of course this way the suits can say because it was agreed so late they had o time to get players in.! and they can then keep hold of the money.

That's Bull, we are all mushrooms as far as B+ B are concerned.

The original bid (which Sunderland claimed was final) was £2m, was it not? And we still don't know what the clubs have actually agreed on, so there is little point worrying about it at the moment (or indeed, ever).

£2.5m, £3m, whatever it is is still a club record. We've done okay this season without him and this Stephens fella could easily make us quickly forget Bridcutt.

Burke is also not a 'suit' in the way you use that pejorative. He was a decent non-league player in his day and has coaching qualifications, which makes him, as effectively chief scout, more of a 'tracksuit'.

Actually I beg to differ, Mr Burke is "Head of football operations" (whatever that might be !), which suggests a suit !, Chief Scout and head of recruitment is Mervyn Day, (for those who are too young to remember Mervyn Day was a quite good goalkeeper for Leeds Utd when they were a half good team in the old Division 1, (now premier league). ,

Bridcutt has gone, to be honest we have managed most of the season without him so the team shouldnt suffer to much imo, the origional deal of £2m had add ons if i remember correctly and therefor expect the same or better add ons with the £2.5m offer.
With 2 strikers due back in the next few weeks i dont think we need to spend in that position, if Buckley goes do we need to replace him? we have LuaLua, Lopez, March and could even use Cms out wide if need be, so no replacement required there imo.
With Crofts out for the season, it is this position only that gives cause for concern, this is where Agustien should be playing and showing us his potential imo, but for some reason he cannot get it together at the moment, with Ince, Jfc, Andrews and Orlandi surely we have enough cover and quality to get into a playoff spot without going mad and buying someone to sit on the bench imo.
Save funds for the summer when we will have a better idea of where we are and who we need, good things come to those who wait, look at the stadium a an example, we want to stay there when we get there so be patient.
Lets go all out in the cup though, and who knows a semi or better at Wembley could be just around the corner. Good times ahead. UTA

It's irrelevant whether it's 'profit' or not - the point is 'what is his real value?' !!

And with Poyet last year saying he is a £5m player £2-3m aint enough - simple as that!!

Exactly.
The original cost to BHA is 100% irrelevant. Unbelievable that anyone could think that's a factor in today's deal!

The transfer fee today is simply his market value at this moment - the maximum that any other club is prepared top pay for him..

Much of the discussion on this site during the transfer window has been about the lack of ambition shown by senior management, when the club will be ready for the premiership, the importance of financial stability, excellent facilities and FFP. Lost in this discussion is players’ ambition, to both play in premiership and enjoy the benefits that for even one season could be worth five years of championship wages. Footballers are smart enough to know that players like Bridcutt contribute to realizing their dream and lack of equally talented and ready replacements undermine it. In all walks of life, expectation and belief in the possibility of success differentiates winners and losers and committed administrators, talented coaches and fans instill it, but ultimately players have to believe it. Recently, several players have questioned the club’s ambition in the transfer market and the lack of timely reinvestment of both monies received and those anticipated, will do little to reinforce their expectations of success.

We dont need a replacement we have Ince and imho he is a better prospect than bridcutt, as I have said before he gets to the halfway line and gets a nose bleed we are a much better attacking team without him.

I, like i'm sure the majority, would have thanked Liam for everything and wished him well. But personally, the whole 'unavailability' to play recently has soured his legacy. He was great for us, really great. But I'm happy to see him go now. Roll on the 'Thumbs down's....

Yep.
That was rather unlike Bridcutt - who previously have never exhibited any of the devious, manipulative and sulky traits used by the devious likes of Cabaye, Berbatov, Modric.

He still would have got his move this month, especially as Rohan Ince has developed so well into the same CM role.

there are no heroes working in a coffee shop, no servers put on a pedestal by the customers, just polite and efficient staff serving up a cup of coffee, two very different worlds

Depends which type of coffee you're selling. There is a big difference between instant nescafé and gently roasted Tanzanian Peaberry beans.

An interesting analogy - I take your point. To take it a step further, if you knew your coffee machine was becoming unreliable and may not take you into your next busy period, and if you saw an opportunity to get something for it, much more than you paid for it in the first place, the temptation to do so and invest in a new one would be too great to ignore. You're absolutely right, it's called BUSINESS! And it's very GOOD BUSINESS too!!!

Agreed. Rohan has grown so much this season, I'm always happy and re-assured when he's on the team sheet. At the end of the day, all i want is for the 11 out there to WANT to be there and to play their hearts out for the cause.

I think for those who would like to know what we got--or are getting---for Liam we will never know the truth. A lot of smoke screens going on in this window. The reason I say that is that at the beginning of the month I recall it was printed in the press that Gus would have very little money to play with in this transfer window unless he sold big--which i do not believe he has--but IF the papers are to be believed then by my calculation he has probably spent over 10m on players from Argentina , Bridcutt and so forth. Also today we have reports of Bridcutt being sold for 2.5, 3 and 4m so what is it---as I say we will never know. We move on again--never look back always look forward.

Gus was always prone to exaggeration. Brisdcutt £5m? I don't think so! Remember he said Dunk must be worth £6m!!! I don't think so!
Remember he said if Zaha is worth £10m, then Buckley must be worth the same! I don't thinks so.

£3m for Liam is about the correct valuation for a player without Premiership experience. With his sulky, don't want to be here anymore attitude, then £3m profit is excellent business - and with add-ons - my guess is it could be nearer £4m. Thank you Gus for enabling that!

As some posters said earlier... GOOD BUSINESS.

Agreed Vince. Nobody else was bidding more for Bridcutt and I am sure the Board would have sold him to a higher bidder if there was one. LB is not as important to OG's system of play as he was to GP. A good deal and looks like the proceeds are going to be strengthening our attack.

I disagree. Whilst his defensive qualities and tenacious tackling are of a high standard, his forward movement and distribution quite often leave a lot to be desired. £2.5 - £3m is a fair price as far as I am concerned - as defenders rarely command the sort of prices that quality forwards do. How many £30m defenders are you aware of - let alone the £80m + fees paid for players like Bale and Ronaldo?

Now if it comes to a fit Will Buckley in top form, then I am inclined to say he is worth £5m - £7m. The same applies to Ulloa. Remember Palace put in a £5m bid for Ulloa at the start of the season.
